THAT IS THE QUESTION...

You have answered it in your way, many of us have answered it in a more postitve way. Please don't point to all the green seats again as your support network, most of them are just bandwagoners who will only pay their hard earned dollars for a winner (as eviidenced in April), not simply for the "privaledge" of watching some of the best young hockey player in the entire world (even if most are on the other teams). Good hockey fans will support all the highest levels of hockey they can in their area you, self-purportedly, do neither. I can't figure out why you even bother. Why waste your time if you don't even believe in it enough to support the game at these levels? This must be the only place someone will look at what you have to say.
